Two men were fatally shot at an Elbert County illegal marijuana grow site, the sheriff’s office said.
At about 8 a.m. Thursday, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious death at a home on the 30000 block of U.S. 24, west of Simla, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies found two dead men who had suffered gunshot wounds. “The rural residence is the site of an illegal marijuana grow operation, and investigators believe the operation is a contributing factor in the deaths,” the sheriff’s office said.
There is no danger to the public and an investigation into the deaths of the two unidentified men is continuing, the sheriff’s office said.
